All Classes:

Periods 1, 4, and 6

After our Quickwrite, we spent the rest of the period finishing our “Raymond’s Run” Review Playlist, station activities with a focus on characterization.

Period 5

We reviewed the story with a 20 question Kahoot game to help us think through the highlights of the story.  Here are our top 3 finishers!

We also played a Vocabulary Jam with three teams working on their skills with vocabulary from “Raymond’s Run.”  All teams were very positive and engaged!

Today our focal point was characterization in all classes; Periods 1, 4, and 6 worked through our first day of Playlist Station rotations that focus on analyzing the characters in the short story.  5th period completed a modified version of the same tasks but in a different format since they were not quite ready for another playlist activity today.

  • Wednesday:  Complete our Playlist Work/Story Review of “Raymond’s Run”
  • Thursday:  Finish story review, quiz over the story “Raymond’s Run”
  • Friday:  Library book reading time + Membean vocabulary work
